RACS app for early detection of cognitive decline

This study is testing a new tool called the RACS app to help doctors easily screen for cognitive impairment (problems with memory or thinking) in older adults. The RACS app includes risk assessment questions, a symbol matching task, and voice tasks. We want to see if using the RACS app helps primary care doctors identify cognitive decline earlier. We are looking for 100 participants aged 60 and older who are fluent in Spanish. To see if the RACS app is successful, we will measure your cognitive performance (thinking skills) at the start of the study, and again at 6 and 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (the RACS app). The study plans to enroll 100 participants.
What's involved
Participants will have their cognitive performance measured at the beginning of the study, and again at 6 months and 12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the study, with visits at 6 and 12 months.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Aged 60 years and older;
Ethnic/racial background consistent with NIH policy
Male or female
Fluent in Spanish.

Exclusion

Confounding conditions that could impact ability to participate in the study (e.g., cognitive impairment sufficient to impact ability to follow instructions on the iPad, motor impairment that would prohibit independent use of RACS, poor visual acuity)

What this trial measures

  • Cognitive Performance Scorebaseline, 6 month, and 12 month visits

    Combination of symbol matching and voice tasks, which generates a cognitive performance score ranging from 0 to 1 (high scores mean higher likelihood of cognitive impairment)
